"Pulling Back the Curtain to Reveal the Budgeting Process in Myanmar"
Over the course of the last year EAI has partnered with four Myanmar civil society organizations on the "Building Civil Society Capacity in Myanmar Through Budget Monitoring" program. This series of reports is the culmination of that program. The Open Myanmar Initiative, Renaissance Institute, Sandhi Governance Institute, and the Yangon School of Political Science each carried out research on different parts of the budgeting cycle in Myanmar in an effort to uncover exactly how government budgets were being planned, approved, implemented, and audited. Despite some restrictions and lack of access to information, all four of these organizations meticulously describe the budgeting process in Myanmar in a variety of sectors and at different levels of government. It is our hope that their hard work and dedication has laid a foundation for participatory budgeting in Myanmar for years to come. pc   mobile
